Tour de France 2020 NO SPOILERS !

[roadrash]

too many chiefs not enough Indians , perhaps ineos was astounded by Movistar tactics

In one way it's no shock...as in "defending Tour winner defending his crown" but if Froomes fit and up for it...who knows ?

Plan A, B and C...
I don't think Movistar have a plan A this year!
Jumbo Visma will be the main opposition I guess with a plan A and B

 

[rich p]

He looks the part. I wouldn't bet against him being ready in July

He's posing with his bike. The conclusions you can draw from that are a bit limited. Heck, even I can do that.

To be back on a bike at all is a acheivment,I doubt he'd be bigging himself up if he thought he wasn't up for it,so to speak.Fifth tour on the way....did I mention I was a massive Froome fanboy😁

Agreed, that's why I said he looks the part. Time will tell if he actually 'is the part' but he's a very driven bloke.

Well, in that case he needs to spend less time in the team car being taken to photo ops, and more time actually training!

All three Kruiswijk,Dumoulin and Roglic to ride the tour.George Bennet to ride the Giro.There going for the tour or bust by the looks of it.

Happy New Year Gaz !
I know what you mean but I guess it's how much you'll follow team orders.Seems to have worked at Sky/Ineos when they've had joint leaders.Must be frustrating at times for the riders though.Id say its better for Bennet if he gets to lead at the Giro.

happy new year adam, I really hope bennet goes from strength to strength and has an even better year than last year now he has moved teams.
I guess we will have to see how it pans out, and if they will follow team orders or will it go tits up. looking forward to the season ahead anyhow
